A great morning out looking for lures. The water was down about a foot and no wind after several days of being windy. Yup.Thats about a three day haul for me here on the river during salmon running time.

Had a buddy that lived on a popular fishing lake, he sunk a burnt bed box spring in between a couple stumps sticking up where everyone casts, attached a cable on a crank on the bank and cleaned up. Kind of a jerk move, but effective. Who even thinks of doing that?Wow!

Buddy of mine used to motor along close to shore in fall right after most leaves are down.. Carried a pole with one them limb clippers. Was amazing how many baits he cut out of trees just high enough couldn't reach them by hand. I like to go on the lake early in the morning cruse the shore line look for any odd color on shore. Pick up baits doing that.

My daughter was involved In some eagle studies. You can't imaging all the fishing lures she found In those nests.
When we were kids we sunk old bed springs In fishing hot spots. You have no Idea how many lures we collected and sold back to anglers.

Friend sent me this video the other day because he knew I used to pick lures. Makes me want get back in river again haven't done it now seriously for many years. Before everyone went to just using trolling motors keep their boats in place. Knew few spots guy could dive pick a dozen nice anchors or so ever trip. People still anchor but not like they did years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27FuozgxxMIMac

Mac thanks for posting that video. I know where that is and was actually out there watching them dive that place the day they filmed it.
